Good morning Alex,
If you are under 18, i understand any reservations that your parents may have. This being said, they can be assured there are so many opportunities to expand a potential career for yourself.
those aged 16- 17 1/2 get to conduct basic training as a junior entry at the Army Foundation College. This enables a continuation of the basics studies of English, Maths and IT, whilst simultaneously training to be a British Solider. The major difference of any other College, to ours, is that we'll pay you £25,200 a year for doing so.
On Completion of basic training the opportunities available to you are almost limitless. Deployments, Sports, self development and charity work are some of the fantastic ways you can enhance your skill set over the years. Infact, once you turn 18 and able to be deployable overseas, the average Soldier gains more life experience in 1 year, then the average UK adult does in their entire life.
